Why is the bulk price ($39.50 ea for 6 pieces) 30% higher than the ala carte price ($30.21)? Someone obviously flunked Economics &amp; Marketing 101.

We only sale the singles ($30.59 each) Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

I must agree, the pricing is all over the map. I often leave items in my cart (the "save for later" function) and doing that I get to easily track price changes that occur over time. I've noticed many items on Amazon fluctuate on an almost daily basis by a few cents to a few dollars. However this printer seems to experience huge swings in pricing - it was $680 yesterday, today's it's down to $599.

i think most people are just repeating what they heard and have no clue how this cart compares to another cart because they have never actually done a side by side comparison. also, the audiophool mantra is: more money must be more better. i doubt 99% of the people saying anything good or bad about the cart could pick it out in a blind test with a real top end cart.

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

That's the way "free shipping" works :) Stores ship in bulk & hence their per piece shipping cost is much lesser.

Why would they claim an orig price of $55? Who would pay $55 for this? Think the savings is majorly inflated and, frankly, irresponsible. Having said this, I have one that I bot at a discount store for $4 and I love it. To pay$6 for one is not unreasonable but to insinuate that it could be retailed for $55 is ridiculous.

This pricing scheme mostly has to do with a camera special. The price always skyrockets to an exorbitant amount when you are offered a good discount on select lenses when you buy a certain camera(s). After the special is over, the prices go back to normal.$399 was just too ridiculous. The person or program that adjust these prices is whack if they/it thinks someone will pay 25% more than the MSRP. (I wonder how many people actually did... ::facepalm::)

Very often, if you buy something from Amazon and then come back to the item listing the same day, it's up $1.00 in price. I've never seen the price increase going from the listing to the shopping cart.However, I suspect there's some price hanky-panky going on in both cases. LOL

The majority of the price is directly related to shipping. This is a large item and dimensional shipping rates apply.

It's an old marketing trick -- it sets a floor price in your mind. Your are stuck evaluating the $100 difference and the $399 (original) price doesn't seem quite as bad. So, you buy the baseline product and think you saved $100.

not a sarcasm! Just my kind of(wry?) humor/wit ;) Nalt is better and the difference in price of bulk ones is negligent...all it boils down to quality.Who knows which is best? Recent article somewhere states that many supplements sold by Walmart, GNC AND OTHERS are bogus.. :(

I agree with Roger, this stuff was never cheap, I'm paying now about what I paid by-the-can when it was sold locally in stores (though I could negotiate with some store managers and buy 12-pack cases for $16, that was nice. I should have stocked up), and it can't be that cheap to ship these. It would be really great if there weren't regular delays due to being out of stock, though, but that just gives me hope that it's popular enough to not disappear forever. A subscription plan like Amazon has with a lot of grocery items (where you save 15% for monthly deliveries) would be excellent, we could save about $4 a case and not have to remember to come back to re-order as often!

Bulk packaging is less expensive. The pieces are wrapped together and shipped. The items are new. When you go to att the item comes in an excessive plastic case that is not necessary. Its all show. Save the money and go bulk.

That price looks like the going rate for the full version. I own a lot of toontrack products and the list at their site is always too high. Even the sales on their site are higher than other distributors' base price.
